The World of Blaster Bates
Blaster Bates is probably one of England's leading demolition experts. He is also a natural comedian. He can leave an audience calling for more after two and a half hours of simply relating incidents that have happened to him over the years. The walls of his Sandbach semi are covered with hunting trophies that tell of his hobby, and a silver disc that tells of his success as a reluctant recording artist.
The programme looks at Blaster's background, hobbies and work. Filming was not without its moments. Following one of his jobs blowing mud out of a silted-up trout pool, the camera team followed the action and watched Blaster's retreat. Some time was then spent in removing mud from the camera and crew!
